   Life’s little pleasures!
   The coffee can cover attracted my attention, as did the handy take-to-cafe dimensions of The Coffee Book, plus I was pleasantly surprised by the contents.

   This is a must read for anyone who works with or loves drinking coffee. If you’re looking for a crash course in the history, economics behind or current politics of the coffee industry, look no further!

   Yawwwwwwn…
   I had hoped to read a thoughtful and measured history of coffee/the coffee trade. Instead, I found The Coffee Book to be heavy-handed, one-sided and didactic.

   This review is from: The Coffee Book: Anatomy of an Industry from Crop to the Last Drop (Paperback)

   The Coffee Book is an invaluable source of information on coffee commerce and history. Dicum and Luttinger take you through the beginning of coffee cultivation, its growth into the second most valuable commodity traded in the world today (petroleum is number one), and a detailed chronology of the major events shaping the coffee industry. This book provides an invaluable foundation for the reader to understand where we are today in the coffee business and what may be important aspects of coffee commerce for the future. I’ve read many books on coffee but if I could have only one book as my primary reference, The Coffee Book would be my choice without a doubt.

   Boy, what a disappointment THAT was.
   Here I thought I was getting a book having something to do with coffee, all I got was a militant greenie screed against any business bigger than a lemonade stand.

   For the birds…..
   Do you enjoy watching the birds frolic around the outdoor bird bath? Do you wait for their return each spring and wonder where they will build their nests this year?

    Surprisingly interesting, entertaining and compelling
    I picked this book up at the library, thinking it was about kinds of coffee and how to brew it. I was mildly disappointed to find out that it was about the coffee industry, but I…
